Hi,

I just finished doing a complete yum update on my system; going from the 
2.6.18-164 kernel to the -194 version; and everything else.  Mostly it 
went smoothly.

I forgot about my use of the elrepo modules for my lm_sensors (w83627ehf 
chip) and my ethernet (chip).  So I struggled abit trying to get those 
to work as well as they had with the 164 kernel.  Once I finally figured 
out my problem, I was able to find and use the elrepo modules without a 
hitch.  I did need to use the "testing" version of the w83627ehf module; 
but it worked completely as expected.

I really appreciate what you folks are doing.  You make it possible for 
me to use a stable package like CentOS (ie., VERY slow to change), but 
to use current hardware which often doesn't yet have driver modules in 
packages like CentOS.  It's the best of both worlds.  And it has so far 
been completely bullet proof.

Nice job!  And thanks!

Joe Henley
